Summer-to-winter internship embedding with engineering and quant teams to build trading infrastructure, connect new venues and blockchains, optimise algos, and develop statistical/machine learning models to identify market inefficiencies and support live trading.
Interns at Caladan gain first-hand experience working closely with top engineers, quants and traders as part of small collaborative teams doing real work.
Close to 40% of our Engineering team are former interns and have gone on to a wide variety of roles, some are now even acting as mentors for the next group of interns!
Dates
